Newberry drew Inzektor Centipede next turn. He Normal Summoned Centipede and attacked Kabazauls. He activated Book of Moon to put Kabazauls face-down and then Colin flipped Fiendish Chain to stop Centipede’s attack and protect Kabazauls!

Colin tried to Flip Summon Kabazauls next turn, but Newberry activated Solemn Warning and gave up 2000 Life Points to negate its Summon. Next, Colin activated Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Newberry’s other face-down Warning. He Normal Summoned Rescue Rabbit and activated its effect. Newberry Chained Maxx “C”, Colin Special Summoned 2 Sabersaurus from his Deck, and Newberry drew a card thanks to the effect of Maxx “C”. Sabersaurus attacked over Centipede and then the other copy of Sabersaurus attacked directly, dropping Newberry down to 400 Life Points. In Main Phase 2, Colin combined his 2 copies of Sabersaurus to Summon Evolzar Laggia, and Newberry drew another card.

Newberry drew Inzektor Giga-Mantis next turn, but had picked up an Inzektor Hornet earlier from the effect of Maxx “C”. He activated Dark Hole and Colin negated it with Evolzar Laggia. Next, he Normal Summoned Inzektor Dragonfly, and Colin used Book of Moon to put it face-down when it used its effect. He Set a Fiendish Chain that he picked up from Maxx “C” on the previous turn, and then passed to Colin.

Colin Summoned Kabazauls and tried attacking the face-down Dragonfly with Laggia; but Newberry flipped Fiendish Chain to block the attack.

Newberry flipped his Dragonfly next turn and activated its effect to equip it with a Hornet in his hand. Then he sent Hornet to the Graveyard to destroy Colin’s face-down Starlight Road and Special Summon a Centipede with the effect of his Hornet. Next, he activated Centipede’s effect to equip it with the Hornet in his Graveyard. He followed up by equipping his Dragonfly with the Inzektor Giga-Mantis in his hand. Next, he sent the Hornet to the Graveyard to destroy Giga-Mantis, and Colin Chained Maxx “C” from his hand. Giga-Mantis Special Summoned an Inzektor Centipede from the Graveyard with its effect, and Dragonfly Special Summoned a Hornet. Centipede got him a Dragonfly to add to his hand. Next, Newberry activated his new Centipede’s effect to equip it with a Hornet in the Graveyard. He sent the Hornet to the Graveyard to destroy Kabazauls and then added another Inzektor Hornet to his hand with the effect Centipede. Next, he combined Centipede with Dragonfly to Summon Number 20: Giga-Brilliant. Then he Normal Summoned Dragonfly, equipped it with Hornet, and sent Hornet to the Graveyard to destroy Evolzar Laggia and Special Summon a Centipede from his Deck. He equipped it with a Hornet to boost its ATK. Next, Newberry equipped his on-field Hornet with a Giga-Mantis to increase its Attack Points. Colin drew a bunch of cards with Maxx “C” throughout the turn, but it made no difference. Newberry detached an Xyz Material from Giga-Brilliant to boost the ATK of all of his monsters, and attacked directly with all of them to wipe out all 8000 of Colin’s Life Points in one turn!

[After the Match, Colin said he wishes he had pitched Maxx “C” when Newberry used his Dragonfly’s effect the first time in the turn. That way, he would’ve been able to draw 1 extra card. If it were Gorz, it could’ve saved him.]

Nicholas Newberry swarms the field with Inzektor monsters to wipe out all 8000 of Diego Colin’s Life Points in a single turn! Colin will be going first in Duel 2!

Colin Summoned Rescue Rabbit and banished the Rabbit to Special Summon 2 copies of Sabersaurus. Newberry flipped Gozen Match and Colinattacked directly with both copies of Sabersaurus to drop Newberry down to 4200 Life Points.

Dragonfly Special Summoned a Centipede from the Deck, and Newberry activated Centipede’s effect to equip it with a Hornet and boost it to 2100 ATK. Colin took direct attacks from both monsters, dropping him down to 4900 Life Points.

Once again, Newberry sent his Hornet to the Graveyard to destroy his own Dragonfly in Main Phase 2, triggering his Centipede’s effect so that he could add an Inzektor Dragonfly from his Deck to his hand.

Colin Summoned Tour Guide From the Underworld and activated its effect. Newberry Chained Maxx “C” and drew a card when Colin Special Summoned a Tour Guide from his Deck.

Newberry drew Fiendish Chain and then Flip Summoned Dragonfly. He equipped it with Hornet and then sent Hornet to the Graveyard to destroy Colin’s face-down Forbidden Lance. Colin Chained the Lance to weaken Dragonfly, and then Dragonfly Special Summoned a Hornet from the Deck. Newberry equipped his Hornet with one from his Graveyard and then sent the Equip to the Graveyard to destroy Colin’s face-down Mirror Force. Newberry Normal Summoned a Hornet and equipped it with a Hornet in the Graveyard, and then sent the Equip to the Graveyard to destroy Colin’s Tour Guide.
